Finishing second in the Premier League assists table behind only Eden Hazard, Ryan Fraser can be proud of his performance this season. The Scotland international has been a key player for AFC Bournemouth throughout the campaign, being a constant creative force from the midfield for the Cherries.

With 14 assists and 7 goals in the league, the 25-year-old has impressed everyone with his creative talents. Forming a lethal partnership with Callum Wilson, the duo have troubled quite a few defenses this season.

Just 5 ft 4 in tall, Fraser has been on the receiving end of many rough challenges due to his small stature. But that hasn't stopped him from creating and scoring goals for fun.

Eddie Howe placed a lot of faith in him and the boy from Aberdeen hasn't let his boss down. Though a number of clubs will be looking to buy him in the transfer window, the Cherries fans will pray that he stays with them.
